Kylie Minogue lights up Empire State Building for charity and US Tour News!
Double headline for Kylie Minogue. Kylie was at the DKMS Gala event held in New York and Rihanna also attended. DKMS is a charity that is helping patients fighting life threatening blood cancers find bone marrow donor matches through the DKMS organasation. Rihanna is strongly involved and Kylie is a recent addition to add even more clout to this charitable cause. The charity event was held at Cipriani’s. Kylie lit up the Empire State Building in Red and White earlier in the day (photo at ES building below) in honour of the Coty/DKMS Partnership
She has also announced that she is to go on tour soon with a string of tour dates in the US and Canada, performing in cities including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and New York in September and October. This is ground breaking news, and a surpising first for this massive established multi talented star, as she has never toured the US and failed to really crack this market, but maybe now her time has come to make amends.

Kylie Minogue in UK’s rich list
Kylie Minogue
The global economic recession has not spared the rich. Yet, they are rich. Pop queen Kylie Minogue, has landed a place in the UK rich list despite having lost money in the economic crisis.
According to the list compiled by The Sunday Times, the 40-year-old singer has made it to the 46th spot among the Top wealthiest music with her personal fortune of over $70 million. Minogue’s wealth, however, has come down from last year when her fortune was estimated to be worth $83.5 million. That puts her in league with Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams and Mick Jagger whose earnings dropped by 10% last year due to the global meltdown.
The UK rich list shows that Minogue was worth $71.25 million which equals that of Ronnie Wood, Mick Hucknell and Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay. South African-born record executive 62-yer-old Clive Calder tops the UK rich list with a personal fortune of $2.6 billion. Economic crisis or not, Kylie can now celebrate because she remains one of world’s richest female singers.
Kylie Minogue and The Wiggles Cover Monkey Man
Kylie Minogue has teamed up with The Wiggles to cover Toots & The Maytals ska classic song “Monkey Man.” I’m not a fan of Kylie’s singing, but the video is really cute. It’s also a great cause since all proceeds from the song will be donated to UNICEF so I’m happy to see this rendition. The Wiggles were appointed UNICEF Australia Goodwill Ambassadors in 2008.
However, I prefer The Specials’ cover as seen in the video below:
I absolutely ove The Specials…so much energy on stage! If I were a little kid, I’d be more of a fan of The Wiggles though.

Kylie Minogue Admits to Using Botox
Kylie Minogue admits to using Botox. She told Elle magazine:
“I’m definitely not one of those people who says, ‘You shouldn’t do this.’ Everyone individually can do what they want.
I also think it doesn’t have the stigma that it had when I was growing up. For all time women have wanted to, for the most part, look their best.
It’s just that what we have available to us today is - what it is today. I’m preferring to be a lot more natural these days. I’ve tried Botox, I’ve tried [it] all.”
It’s too bad she feels she needs it. She’s only 40 and doesn’t look like she’s aging yet.
